Figure 3. Resting-state network connectivity changes.

Figure 3

(A–D) Average default mode network (DMN) for each group of participants in which hot colors indicate regions that have high functional connectivity. (E) Contact athletes had significantly higher (p < 0.01) functional connectivity compared to noncontact athletes, with a green circle indicating the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) region of interest. (F) Significant correlation between DMN connectivity strength (z statistic) with the PCC and the axial diffusion within the splenium of the corpus callosum in contact athletes only (r = −0.32, p = 0.0002). DTI = diffusion tensor imaging; rs-fMRI = resting-state fMRI.
